Tom Stoppard

Sometimes I dream of revolution, a bloody coup d'etat by the second rank - troupes of actors slaughtered by their understudies, magicians sawn in half by indefatigably smiling glamour girls...
-Moon, The Real Inspector Hound

One of my favorite playwrights.  He also cowrote Shakespeare in Love, which was a damn good movie.  My favorite plays of his are The Real Inspector Hound, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Arcadia.  His stuff is kind of bizarre but it's worth it if you can figure it out.  Very rewarding.
